The photographic records, along with other historical documents and business records, capture railroad operations and various aspects of life in the cities, small towns, and rural areas along the P & L E ’s lines in southwestern Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. Complementing the still photographs are over 2,000 feet of 16mm movie film which depict such scenes as railroad work crews in the 1930s, construction projects, and a parade of boats along the Monongahela River.
